Managed to get this bit of editing out of the way in a very short space of time (as you can probably see).

We didn’t take the camera into town with us on our visits so this is all beach and campsite stuff.

Okay, let’s not go into how I came to found a video called ‘Birds Moonwalking’, but this is just great. To see a bird strutting their Jacko stuff along those branches makes me feel like life’s beautiful. What’s next? Penguins dangling babies over balconies?

I treated the manic videoing of Phil’s family trip to our house a bit differently this year and have decided to edit it into little chunks of film. Matthew’s a good age now for co-operation when it comes to things like this, and he makes a good subject (and a lovely nephew!). Music is “Aquarius” by Boards of Canada’s timeless album - released ten years ago, “Music Has the Right to Children“

… and that’s magic, folks. No room for Barbie to play in our tent.

I was watching a fantastic bit of stop frame animation the other day on youtube, when I saw a cheesy camera trick exactly like I’d done about 12 months ago with my friend Will whilst on holiday in Wales.
